This is the second time we’ve done this to work, but it was definitely the best. On the whale watching portion we saw at all, Orcas, Humpbacks, Sea Lioba, and Bald Eagles. The ship’s crew kept commenting how fortunate we were as it’s not always that prolific of a viewing opportunity. The visit to Mendenhall glacier, while beautiful, was definitely way too short. We had to rush out to the edge of the glacier if we wanted to see it, and the programs, video and other activities near the visitor center were way too crowded to try to get many of them in during the time allotted.
